Anyone who’s tried (and failed) to follow a diet knows that food is more than fuel. This week, we dig into the psychology behind what we eat, what we spit out, and when we come back for more: Hungry, Hungry Hippocampus

Could mindfulness make you a better, calmer parent?
It’s all very well trying to remain calm as a parent, but when you have a baby who has thrown porridge all over you, a three-year-old whacking you all with a toy tractor, a six-year-old who refuses to dress for school, and two minutes to get everyone out of the house, how can anyone channel their inner Zen in moments like these? Could mindfulness make you a better, calmer parent?
The Troubles by @u2
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control
You think it’s easier
To put your finger on the trouble
When the trouble is you
And you think it’s easier
To know your own tricks
Well, it’s the hardest thing you’ll ever do
I have a will for survival
So you can hurt me
And then hurt me some more
I can live with denial
But you’re not my troubles anymore
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control
You think it’s easier
To give up on the trouble
If the trouble is destroying you
And you think it’s easier
But before you throw me a rope
It was the one thing I could hold on to
I have a will for survival
So you can hurt me
And then hurt me some more
I can live with denial
But you’re not my troubles anymore
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control
God knows it’s not easy
Taking on the shape of someone else’s pain
God now you can see me
I’m naked and I’m not afraid
My body’s sacred and I’m not ashamed
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Somebody stepped inside your soul
Little by little they robbed and stole
Till someone else was in control

How do we love Costco? Let us count the ways. One of our favorite aspects of the big-box store is its return policy, which generally sides in favor of the customer and doesn’t make you feel like a jerk even when you’re returning an entire set of patio furniture a month after buying it. But we should rest easy, because patio furniture is totally not weird compared to some of the 100-percent bananas items that customers have tried to return over the years: Here’s all the crazy shit people have tried to return at Costco
If resisting has failed and frustrated you, try to accept what is. As hard as it is to believe, acceptance can open different opportunities for change than resistance. https://t.co/ue6lIXRJdo #3
